Chapter 1024: New Cultivation Path (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
All the citizens underground were looking at the reversers on the big screen worriedly. The closer Chen Jie led the group of cultivators, the lower the surrounding temperature and the worse the world became.
In the end, when they were still five kilometers away from the eruption point of dark matter energy, the cultivators could not move an inch. The cold wind blew past like a knife. The powerful wind made it difficult for cultivators to take a step.
In a short period of time, the snow on the ground had already exceeded their knees. Under such resistance, some cultivators with lower realms could no longer follow the team. Their supernatural aura was not abundant enough and they were long unable to withstand this cold wave. However, in order not to drag others down, these people grit their teeth and persisted until they were close to their limits.
As a cultivator fell into the snow without any warning, other cultivators realized the problem. They quickly gathered around, but this cultivator was already frozen and had no vitality. This cultivator was still at the peak of the second realm and was breaking through to the third realm.
Among all cultivators, this cultivation speed was relatively slow. No one expected that cultivators of the second realm would be unable to resist this cold wave. However, she was still a hero. From the beginning to the end, she did not implicate others because of her.
Chen Jie immediately ordered all cultivators who had not reached the third realm to stop. However, it was clearly too late to stop now. To be able to reach this place, it was all thanks to the perseverance of low-level cultivators. They did not have the strength to return the way they came. In the end, they could only die on the way back.
Instead of that…
“Commander Chen, we can’t retreat. If we go back, we won’t be able to come back!”
A few cultivators with lower realms looked at Chen Jie with determination in their eyes. Chen Jie naturally would not agree. “No, I’ll get someone to escort you back. After resting for a while, you’ll immediately enter the underground city. This was the first time we had faced such a disaster. We did not know that people of lower realms could not approach the eruption point of dark matter energy. We won’t make pointless sacrifices. Everyone, save your strength and cultivate well. There will be times when we need you in the future!”
Although Chen Jie said that, how could they not know? Now, all the cultivators could not take a single step forward. They could not approach the dark matter energy point at all. Cultivators with high realms could only release supernatural auras through relays to escort others closer.
During this process, it was unknown how many people fell and could not get up again. If another person escorted them away, there would only be more unnecessary casualties. Therefore, they firmly rejected Chen Jie’s suggestion. Under such an urgent environment, Chen Jie knew that she could not waste any more time.
In the end, she still compromised. However, she still reminded them repeatedly to let these low-level cultivators walk at the back and be protected by the supernatural aura of others. They could avoid harm as much as possible.
Then, the cultivators began the relay. The two cultivators were the first to walk forward. They released their supernatural aura to the limit and pushed forward 500 meters with all their might. Then, the cultivators behind followed. After 500 meters, they opened up another 500 meters. With such a relay, there would always be people constantly approaching the eruption point of dark matter energy to pave a path for those who came later.
Some people fell and got up, while others turned into stiff ice men after falling. When the cultivators’ supernatural auras were exhausted, it meant that they could no longer resist the cold.
In just a few minutes, casualties began to appear in this team. In the end, when the cultivator at the front was only 500 meters away from the eruption point of dark matter energy, Chen Jie finally stepped on the path forward.
When the two energies collided, the first thing they needed was for the two energies to be about the same. Otherwise, if the balance was broken, the explosion of energy would be even more shocking than explosives.
As the person with the highest realm in this team, Chen Jie naturally had to shoulder this responsibility.
Facing the surging cold wave, Chen Jie seemed to have exhausted all her strength with every step. She condensed all her supernatural aura around her body, forming an indestructible barrier.
She hoped to use this to approach the dark matter energy eruption point faster. A large amount of supernatural power could be injected into dark matter. After the energy eruption point, it could eliminate this power, but the harm caused would take a long time to recover.
What Chen Jie and the others did was to prevent the environment on Earth from deteriorating further. This could also be considered as creating a guarantee for the future of humanity.
However, the barrier formed by the supernatural aura did not seem to be enough to help Chen Jie approach the dark matter. Instead, the energy eruption point could be seen with the naked eye. The barrier was getting weaker and weaker, as if it would shatter half at any time.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
All the cultivators were very worried when they saw this scene, because they knew that once the barrier shattered, Chen Jie would probably instantly become an ice sculpture.
Chen Jie naturally knew how dangerous this was, but in her opinion, everyone had paid the price of their lives. It had not been easy for them to reach this point. They could not give up at this critical moment.
It had already consumed the last of everyone’s strength to reach this place. If they could not eliminate this dark matter energy explosion point, they would have let down everyone who had sacrificed themselves along the way.
